Navigating between different FocusTraversalPolicy

Question

Ok, I've struggled with this for a bit. I can't quite figure out where I've gone wrong.
I have a window with some fields in the top of the window, and a JTabbedPane in the bottom. The tabbed pane includes several tabs implemented as separate panels. Each of these panels has a custom focus policy, which allows us to specify the exact order and components for tabbing. The custom policy starts like this:
public class MyTraversalPolicy extends FocusTraversalPolicy {
    private List componentList;
    public MyTraversalPolicy(Component[] components) {
        componentList = Arrays.asList(components);       
    }When the panel is created, we pass in an array of components in the proper tabbing order, and setFocusCycleRoot(true).
The window which contains this panel has a different tabbing policy (currently default). Where I'm hitting a problem is at the beginning and the end of my custom tabbing policy. I want to navigate to the appropriate location in the containing window, but can't seem to accomplish this.
My most recent attempt was to cycle through parent components until I found one with a focus policy, and try to use that to find the next component. It didn't work.
           Container c = focusCycleRoot.getParent();
            while (f == null) {
                f = c.getFocusTraversalPolicy();
                if (c.getParent() == null) break;
                c = c.getParent();
            if (f != null) { --do something here;}Is there an easy way to link focus policies together which I am missing?
Thanks,

Thanks Frank. It worked. I have one more issue. I do have two pages http://localhost:7101/faces/test1 and http://localhost:7101/faces/test2 . test2 is a create form page. On submission of this form the page is frowarding to page1 using the action property. When I am accessing the page2 the url is : test2?_afrLoop=188792691646005&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=19nrptpqfx_189. On submission of this page the resulting page1 url is :test2?_adf.ctrl-state=19nrptpqfx_189.Is it possible to redirect to the url http://localhost:7101/faces/test1 after submission ?With out the ?_afr.ctr-state parameters .. Like jsp's send.redirect method rather that jsp: forward kind of action?
Thanks
